Once upon a time, there was beautiful little
princess named Snow White. She was a kind and
gentle and a friend to all animals. Her vain and
wicked stepmother, the Queen, feared that one
day Snow White's beauty would surpass her own.
So she dressed the little princess in rags and
forced her to work as a servant in the castle.
1
Each day, the Queen consulted her Magic Mirror.
"Magic Miror on the wall, who is the fairest one of
all?"
As long as the mirror responded in the Queen's
favor, Snow White was safe.
2
One day, as Snow White was drawing water from
a well, she made a wish. She wished that the one she
loved would find her, and she dreamed about how nice
he would be.
As she gazed into the wishing well, she saw
another face reflected in the water. It belonged to a
handsome prince. "Hello. Did I frighten you? Please
don't run away!"
But the startled princess had fled to her balcony,
where she could watch him from afar. Snow White's
stepmother, the Queen, watched them.
3
At that moment, the Queen was spying on
Snow White and the Prince. When she saw them
together, she flew into a jealous rage and
rushed to her Magic Mirror, demanding
an answer.
"Famed is thy beauty, Majesty,
but hold! A lovely maid I see.
Rags cannot hide her gentle
grace. She is more fair than thee."
"Alas for her! Reveal her
name."
"Lips red as a rose,
hair black as ebony,
skin white as snow …"
"SNOW WHITE!"
4
Furious, the Queen sent for her
Huntsman. "Take Snow White far into the
forest. Find some secluded glade where she
can pick wildflowers. And there, my faithful
Huntsman, you will kill her!"
"But, Your Majesty, the little princess!"
"Silence! You know the penalty if you
fail."
5
Knowing that he dare not disobey the Queen, the Huntsman led
Snow White into the forest. But when it came time for him to harm
Snow White, he stopped and fell to his knees. "I can't do it.
Forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Why, why—I don't understand."
"The queen is mad! She's jealous of you. She'll stop at nothing.
Now quick, child—run, run away. Hide in the woods! Anywhere! And
never come back!"
6
Frightened and alone, Snow White
ran into the forest. Blazing eyes
peered out at her from the darkness.
Eerie shrieks pierced the air. The
branches of trees grabbed at her.
Finally she could run no farther and
collapsed to the ground, sobbing.
When Snow White looked up, she
saw several forest animals gathered
around her.
"Hello. Do you know where I can
stay? Maybe in the woods somewhere?"
7
Snow White followed the animals to a
charming little cottage in the woods. She
knocked on the door, but no one answered. So
she went inside.
"Oh, it's adorable! Just like a doll's house.
What a cute little chair. Why, there's seven
little chairs! There must be seven little
children. And by the looks of this table, seven
untidy children. I know, I'll clean house and
surprise them; then maybe they'll let me
stay
8
With the help of her animal friends, Snow
White cleaned the cottage in no time. Then she
decided to check upstairs. "What adorable little
beds! And look—they have names carved on
them: Doc, Happy, Sneezy, Dopey...what funny
names for children! And there's Grumpy,
Bashful, and Sleepy. I'm a little sleepy myself."
Snow White laid down across three of tiny beds
and fell asleep.
9
Just then, the owners of the cottage came marching home. They weren't children at all, but Seven
Dwarfs who worked all day in their diamond mine.
As they came into the clearing, the one named Doc made everyone halt. He peered through his glasses.
"Look—Our house! The lit's light! The light's lit! Door's open. Chimney's smokin'. Somethin's in there!"
The Dwarfs peeked inside the cottage. Doc gasped. "Why, the whole place is clean!"
Grumpy, true to his name, crossed his arms and glared. "Mark my words, there's trouble a-brewin'. I
felt it comin' on all day."
10
Suddenly, the Dwarfs thought they heard a Doc dashed behind the beds, and the other Dwarfs ran
sound. Doc looked towards the stairs. "I- after him.
it-it's up there. In the bedroom." Snow White yawned and stretched. Then she noticed
Cautiously, the seven little men seven pairs of eyes looking at her over the end of the beds.
She sat up, smiling. "How do you do?"
went to investigate. Doc slowly opened the
"How do you do what?" Grumpy folded his
door and peered in. "Why, I-it-it's a girl?" arms, scowling.
As the Dwarfs approached the
Snow White laughed. "Let me guess. You must
sleeping princess, she began to stir. "She's Grumpy."
wakin' up! Hide!"
"Heh! I know who I am. Who are you?"
"Oh, how silly of me. I'm Snow White."
"The princess?" Doc looked very impressed.
But Grumpy frowned. "Tell her to go back where she
belongs."
11
Snow White pleaded with her hosts. "Please don't
send me away! If you do, the Queen will kill me!"
Grumpy shook his head. "The Queen's an old witch.
If she finds you here, she'll swoop down and wreak her
vengeance on all of us!"
"Oh, she'll never find me here. And if you let me
stay, I'll keep house for you. I'll wash and sew and sweep
and cook...."
"Cook!" Doc rubbed his tummy. "Hooray! She
stays!"
12
The Seven Dwarfs wanted to protect
the beautiful princess from the evil
queen, so they invited Snow White to
live with them. To celebrate, the new
friends sang and danced the night
away.
13
Back in the castle, the
wicked Queen stood before her
mirror. "Magic Mirror on the
wall, who now is the fairest
one of all?"
"Beyond the seventh fall,
in the cottage of the Seven
Dwarfs, Snow White still lives,
fairest one of all."
"I've been tricked!
I'll go myself to the
Dwarfs' cottage in the
woods. I'll go in a
disguise so
complete, no
one will
suspect me."
14
After the Queen learned that Snow
White was still alive, she concocted a
magic potion, then transformed herself
into an ugly old peddler woman.
15
"And now, a special sort of death for one so
fair. What should it be? Ah, a poisoned apple! One
taste, and Snow White's eyes will close forever,
only to be revived by Love's First Kiss. No
fear of that! The Dwarfs will think
she's dead!" the Queen said.
16
Back at the cottage, Snow White was
saying good-bye to the Dwarfs as they set off
for work. As she kissed each one on the head,
Doc stood close by. "Now don't forget, my
dear, the old Queen's a sly one. Full of
witchcraft, so beware."
17 Then Grumpy frowned. "Now, I'm warnin'
ya, don't let nobody or nothin' in the house."
Snow White smiled at him. "Why, Grumpy,
you do care!"
"Heh!!"
Shortly after the Dwarfs left, the old peddler woman
appeared at the cottage. "All alone, my pet?" Snow White
nodded as the old woman sniffed the air. "Makin pies?"
"Yes, gooseberry pies."
"Ahh, it's apple pies that make the menfolks' mouths
water. Pies made with apples like these." She lifted a
shiny red apple from her basket. "Like to try one, dearie,
hmm? Go on, have a bite."
Sensing that Snow White was in danger, several birds
18swooped down on the woman, knocking the apple out of her
hand. Snow White tried to shoo the birds away. "Stop it!
Go away! Shame on you, frightening the poor old lady."
"Oh, my heart! Oh, my. My poor heart. Take me into
the house and let me rest. A drink of water, please."
Unable to make Snow White understand, Doc thought about it. "Maybe it's—the Queen!"
the birds and animals raced to alert the Grumpy galloped off on the back of a deer. "Snow
Drawfs. At the mine, they pulled and tugged White's in danger! We've gotta save her!"
at the confused little men. Grumpy growled. Meanwhile, the Queen picked up the poisoned apple.
"What ails these crazy critters? They ain't "Because you've been so good to poor old Granny, I'll
actin' this way for nothin'." share a secret with you. This is no ordinary apple. It's a
magic wishing apple!"
"A wishing apple? Really?"
"Yes. One bite and all your dreams will come true."
19
The old woman grinned at the princess. 20
"Perhaps there's someone you love?"
Snow White remembered her prince.
"Well, there is someone."
"I thought so. Old Granny knows a young
girl's heart. Now make a wish and take a
bite."
Snow White did so. "Oh, I feel strange."
A moment later, she fell to the ground.
The Queen had poisoned her!!
A sudden storm began to rage as the Dwarfs reached the
cottage, where they found the lifeless Snow White. Through
the rain, Grumpy spotted the old hag disappearing into the
forest. "There she goes, men. After her!"
The Dwarfs chased the Queen up a steep cliff.
"You little fools. I'll crush yer bones!"
She tried desperately to pry a boulder loose
to crush them. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning
shattered the ledge, sending the wicked
Queen into the valley below.
21
Though the evil Queen was gone forever, the
princess was still locked in her spell. So beautiful
was she, even in death, the Dwarfs could not
find it in their hearts to bury her.
Doc brushed away a tear. "Let's make her a
coffin out of glass and gold. That way, we can
still see her and keep constant watch by her
side."
22
The Prince heard of the
beautiful maiden who slept in the
glass coffin. He rode to the cottage
of the Seven Dwarfs, and they took
him to Snow White. Gently, he kissed
her. Then, slowly, her eyes began to
open. The spell was broken. Love's
First Kiss had brought her back to
life.
23
Snow White's wish finally
came true. She bid the Seven
Dwarfs good-bye as the handsome
prince swept her into his arms.
Soon wedding bells rang,
echoing throughout the forest.
From then on, Snow White and
her Prince Charming lived in their
castle in the clouds....hapily ever
after...
